Pierre Favresse was born in Brittany in 1979 but soon moved to Paris with his family. He studied cabinet making at the prestigious Ecole Boulle before enrolling in the Ecole Nationale Supérieure for Decorative Arts, specializing in Design – both in Paris. Following his studies, Pierre began to work with designer Mathieu Lehanneur and became studio director, before founding his own studio in 2010.
Pierre’s creations are characterized by their simplicity and balance and marry craftsmanship with state of the art technology. Through design, Pierre plays with many of today’s everyday questions around the use of new materials and innovative functionality, while maintaining a strong focus on social and environmental concerns, be that through reduced manufacturing costs or eco friendly methods and materials.
Today, Pierre is strengthening and developing relationships with international manufacturers across Europe.
Resident Designer at the Ateliers de la Ville de Paris since November 2010
